Colorado Trail Days will be held Friday through Sunday at Backcountry Experience, 1205 Camino del Rio.
Despite the 416 Fire burning north of Durango, event organizers plan to celebrate the beautiful place that we all live in and love.
This year’s Colorado Trail Days benefits Trails2000, which will be fundamental to the recovery process in the San Juan National Forest.
The event is a three-day celebration of the outdoors, featuring free clinics about backpacking and wilderness skills, gear demonstrations, prizes, live music and more. Giveaways will be included from Osprey Packs, Outdoor Research, Mountain Safety Research and more.
